This year marks the 50th anniversary of Stonewall, one of the most important milestones in the movement for LGBTQ rights, and the motivation for the first Pride Parade!

Come celebrate inclusion and diversity with us! This year DION and NTNU LGBTQ+ staff network will be marching together in the parade. So, no matter your NTNU affiliation – or lack of such – we are hoping you will join us!

The parade will go from Trondheim Katedralskole. The parade starts moving at 12.30, but will start organizing from 11.30 and onwards. After the parade, there will be a paradeshow!

Hope to see you there!

Do you feel your life is a little bit sadder and gloomier without music? Do you have a song in your heart that you cannot sing alone? Do you think that choral singing is one of the best ways to express the beauty of harmonies?
DION’s Choir is what you are looking for! We will have two days of open rehearsals: Monday 2nd (from 17 to 19) and Tuesday 3rd (from 17 to 19) September in Tegnesal 320_321, Sentralbygg 1, Gløshaugen.
Send an email to the choir conductor Mattia Veroni (mattia.veroni@ntnu.no) to sign up. If no options suit you at all, he will do his best to arrange a later meeting.

You don’t need to be a great, trained singer to join our choir (no prior experience required): we look for committed singers with a good intonation, in order to build a vibrant, cozy environment for beautiful harmonies to bloom.
And you, holed up instrumentalists! Do you play piano, guitar o percussions and want to help us? We are looking for a few musicians, so join our open rehearsals!

Happy Hour – Semester Kick Off

Date: 26th August (Monday)

Time: 6pm – 9pm

Venue: Work-Work

 

Welcome back everyone!

Summer is slowly fading out: temperatures are dropping every so slightly, your tan line (if you had the luxury to acquire one) is vanishing and all you have left from your vacation are the 9000 pictures of sun sets you took by the beach. Maybe you have never left the campus and enjoyed the silence in the office/ lab, getting a heart attack whenever you heard footsteps in the hallway (probably another equally scared PhD candidate, working on their research). However you spent your summer – DION invites you to kick-start this   new semester with our classic Happy Hours Shuffle Board event at Work Work.
Show off your pictures, share your vacation stories and get to know old and new fellow PhD and post.docs a bit more.
We reserved two  (!) Shuffle Boards from 18.30 – and the first hour is, as it is custom by now, sponsored by DION.
Work work also provides other board games and a good atmosphere to mingle and chat, if you are not so much of a gaming type.
So all you need to do is to join us!

Summer is here (finally)! Next week’s weather forecast shows some perfect weather to set up a bbq grill outside and enjoy an outdoor evening with friends. Join us for an evening of grilling and chilling! The place is Elgeseter Park, just beside Studentersamfundet.

Bring some burgers, sausages, meat, or other things you would like to bbq. DION will be providing the bread, some vegetables, and sauces.

P.S: We are on the lookout for a good bbq grill, so if you have one and can bring it along, please get in touch with us (We will be getting the coal ourselves)
